It’s back onto the Dirt track for this Group 1 sprint and a strong US presence as usual. Mind Your Biscuits is back for more having returned an impressive three-length winner last year with My Catch, Reynaldothewizard and Wild Dude well behind while X Y Jet was narrowly beaten in the 2016 renewal. But compatriot ROY H won the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Del Mar in November with Mind Your Biscuits back in third and had a perfect prep-race for this with an easy success at Santa Anita last month. Peter Miller’s charge will take the beating. Jordan Sport romped home in a Group 3 here last time but this is much tougher and it’s hard to assess what the Japanese raider Matera Sky achieved when scoring at Kyoto last month.
